RtpTransport

[aboba]

Session description

While WebCodecs provides low-level access to the browser's native encoders and decoders, today there is no API to transport media peer-to-peer using the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), defined in RFC 3550.

The goal of the RtpTransport API is to enable applications to utilize peer-to-peer RTP transport, as well as to send and respond to feedback using the Real-time Control Protocol (RTCP).

The following use cases are being developed:

• Use case 1: Custom Packetization
• Use case 2: Custom Congestion Control
• Use case 3: Custom NACK/RTX

See:

• GitHub repo.
• Specification

Thank you for proposing a session!

You may update the session description as needed and at any time before the meeting, but please keep in mind that tooling relies on issue formatting: follow the instructions and leave all headings and other formatting intact in particular. Bots and W3C meeting organizers may also update the description, to fix formatting issues or add links and other relevant information. Please do not revert these changes. Feel free to use comments to raise questions.

Do not expect formal approval; W3C meeting organizers endeavor to schedule all proposed sessions that are in scope for a breakout. Actual scheduling should take place shortly before the meeting.

RtpTransport is a great idea to let others to do customization.
What is the differences between RtpTransport and WebTransport from the transportation layer. If Congestion control algorithm could be injected.
